How major US stock indices fared on Friday

Help poured into Wall Street on Friday, even as deadly attacks continued to rage in Ukraine.
Stocks rose sharply, oil prices fell and investors turned away from gold and other traditional safe havens they favor when fear is high.
Stocks have seen wild swings as Russia’s invasion raised the prospect of even higher inflation, particularly energy prices, and threatened to dampen the global economy. Volatility looked likely to continue, with so much uncertainty over Ukraine as well as how quickly the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates.
